Life challenges can sometimes appear overwhelming or confusing. In therapy you begin to understand patterns of behavior, relationship issues and why or how you make certain decisions. This allows for meaningful change. Therapy takes place in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you are able to reflect on your concerns by exploring the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. Using a psychodynamic, trauma informed approach, treatment is based on your particular circumstances and needs.

Life can be difficult, but I believe that we were built to do and overcome difficult things, even when the task of healing seems impossible. Your feelings are important, and you have the power to transform and heal within a safe space.

How do you overcome the pain of loss? It may be the loss of a job, a romantic or social relationship, the death of a loved one (traumatic or unexpected) or a chronic health issue. Living in a fast paced digital world, we expect instant gratification and often feel the pressure of unrealistic expectations. Life offers us all many challenges. Are you overwhelmed with anxiety or depression? Do you use drugs, alcohol, food and/or destructive relationships to relieve your pain?
